Airway open/closed - Stomach distension

In the flexed position, with the head resting forward onto the

chest, the airways are closed. If an attempt is made to ventilate

the manikin via bag-mask between this position and the neutral

position, air will not enter the lungs. If an air pressure of more

than 10 mm Hg is applied, stomach distention can be observed

on the manikin.

Intubation

The manikin can be intubated via the oral and nasal routes.

A 3,5 mm tube is recommended to avoid backward

air leakage. A No. 1 laryngoscope blade is recommended.

If intubated too deeply, the tube will pass into the right mainstem

bronchus, causing ventilation to the right lung only.

Important:

Always make sure that the airway

and tube have been properly lubricated

before practising intubation on the manikin.

This is important both to provide the proper realism

and to reduce the risk of damaging the manikin's upper

airways. Use the lubricant spray supplied with ALS Baby Trainer and

Intubation Baby Trainer.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE - Manikin Features

Head tilt

In the neutral position, the airways are open. If ventilated via

bag-mask in this position, air will enter the lungs. If a too rapid

ventilation is performed, causing an air pressure in excess of 10

mm Hg, stomach distention will occur.

Hyperextension of the head/neck will not cause the

airways to close.

The cricoid pressure technique (Sellick manoeuvre) can be

realistically performed on the ALS Baby Trainer and Intubation

Baby Trainer.

Lungs, stomach

The manikin contains two separate lungs and a stomach.

They are designed to provide realistic movement and sounds

during ventilation of either lung or distention of the stomach.

To expel air from the stomach, simply press downward on the

manikin's stomach.

The manikin will expel all air back through the mouth and nose.

Jaw thrust

The manikin also allows jaw thrust to be performed.

Performed in the flexed position, the airways will open and allow

ventilation by bag-mask.

Insertion of LMA

Insertion of LMA can be practiced. A size 1 LMA

is recommended.
